2022 NFL: Worst offseason move for each of the 32 teams

Kansas City Chiefs: Adding even more Tik Tok stars
The Kansas City Chiefs will likely be fine because Patrick Mahomes is a machine but they didn’t exactly upgrade around him this offseason. With Tyreek Hill wanting to be paid like an elite wide receiver, the Chiefs shipped him to Miami in exchange for a slew of draft picks.
In the end, they will win this trade. Hill is a good player but he’s not an elite wideout. He’s a speedster who excels due to the talent Mahomes has — and while Hill wants to tell us all that Tua Tagovailoa is more accurate, this idea is simply laughable. Hill won’t have anywhere near the success in Miami that he had in Kansas City.
While all that is true, the Chiefs still don’t have a No. 1 wideout heading into the 2022 season. Right now, they’re set to feature Tik Tok star and part-time receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster along with Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and rookie Skyy Moore.
Based on the players they have, it seems they’re banking on Smith-Schuster as their tip receiver but Smith-Schuster has already proven he cares more about Tik Tok than actually winning. His antics — which include dancing on the midfield logo of divisional opponents — have angered one team after another and the Chiefs already have enough Tik Tok drama with the Mahomes family.
Adding JuJu feels like it will bring more social media distraction, which they truly don’t need.
